Product Description
A practical guide to advise Baby Boomers how to deal with the daunting task of facing a parents' eventual passing as it relates to residential contents, heirlooms, and the often difficult family interactions and feuds that accompany them. With fascinating stories and comprehensive checklists, professional estate liquidator Julie Hall walks Baby Boomers through the often painful challenge of dividing the wealth and property of their parents' lifetime accumulation of stuff. From preparation while the parent is still living through compassionately helping them empty the family home, The Estate Lady gives invaluable tips on negotiating the inevitable disputes, avoiding exploitation from scam artists, and eventually closing the chapter of their lives in a way that preserves relationships and maximizes value of assets.

Lifesaver! August 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Julie's book is indeed a lifesaver! It came to my attention as I was beginning the process of downsizing my mother. Very difficult circumstances and this book was invaluable. Practical advice and comfort in knowing my situation was not unique. Julie has seen it all and the book reflects her expertise. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will buy multiple copies for my friends.
Great insight! August 2, 2008

Julie has really filled a gap for us all! She has practical ideas and provides insight into the emotional side of making hard decisions with our parents and loved ones. A great guide for any age!
A great gift for both generations! July 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Thank you, Julie - This is a tremendous resource for both generations. I sent copies to my siblings as well as to my aunt and uncle. It is hard for them to hear advice from us sometimes, but they were more than willing to read your book, and that, in turn, helps us. The book is well organized, so they can get something out of it even if they choose only to read one or two sections that seem pertinent at this moment. As a professional organizer, I am also recommending this book to clients who have a hard time "letting go" and need to understand some of the consequences.
Great book - excellent resources July 29, 2008

Julie Hall has written THE manual on handling the sensitive subject of our parents' estate (now if someone could write one for new parents!). It is easy to read, with real-life examples which help me relate to each situation. I love the resource tools she provides - so I won't spend all my time looking it up but just handling it. Thank you!
Must Reading for Every Parent and Child July 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was so impressed with the information contained in this book that I immediately ordered a copy for each of my 4 children. I wish I had all this information before the death of my parents. Now I know my children will be informed. This book has inspired me to begin the "cutting down" and "weeding out" of my own possessions. Also giving special jewelry and collectibles to loved ones so they can begin to enjoy them now. Thank you for writing such a valuable book!
